ATHLETIC PROGRESS
FINANCIAL BURDEN LESSENS Special to THE SUN WELLINGTON, Friday. i At the annual meeting of the New ! Zealand Amateur Athletic Association, ! held this week at Wellington, the preI sident, Mr. R. W. McVilly, said that j when one compared the present posi- | tion of athletics with that existing i even live years ago, one could not ; help being struck with the very sound j progress made in the all-important matter of finance. I The need of money was not nearly so prominent today as it had been a few years ago, and this very desirable state of affairs had been secured by organisation. More and more money was, of course, necessary for the wider scope of the sport, but it was* not nearly so difficult to arrange finance today when a sport-loving public was whole-heartedly at the back of the sport. He also expected that the financial side of the proposed New ZealandAustralia contests would be on a much better footing than it had been in past years, when this Dominion generally had to bear the greater burden. The council hoped, he added, to establish a fund very Shortly which would mean that when the time came for the contests against Australia they would bo in a position to carry on without undue cheese-paring.
